One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Two months later, at Kitahara Tsuneo's private training ground.

"That's not it, you're releasing too much of your domineering aura at once!"

"Do you intend to unleash all your Haki at once?!"

"Focus your attention and concentrate all the domineering energy from the rest of your body into your hands."

Zefa's loud voice echoed through the training field.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Tsuneo continuously used Armament Haki to strike the steel plate in front of him in the training ground.

Through two months of training, Kitahara Tsune has successfully mastered the second stage of Armament Haki, namely "Flowing Outward Release".

In Wano Country, it has another name: "Ryuo".

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, the Armament Haki on Kitahara Tsune's hand was no longer the glossy black it had been two months ago.

Instead, like Zephyr, it is pure black.

This special Armament Haki is stronger than the one Kitahara Tsune used before, and it can also enhance the strength of Kitahara Tsune's hands to a certain extent.

However, as a trade-off, this Armament Haki consumes more energy than regular Armament Haki.

Even Zephyr, who has cultivated to this point, can only completely cover his shoulders with Armament Haki at the highest level.

Although we don't usually need it at all.

Just then, Kitahara Tsune had a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped something.

He manipulated the Armament Haki within his body, clenched his fist, and gently pushed forward.

Boom!

The punch didn't even touch the training plate, yet the plate was sent flying out of thin air.

"Yes, that's it!"

Zefa nodded with satisfaction.

"Only by controlling the degree of Armament Haki release can you achieve the best offensive effect."

"Try again, can you do it to that extent just now?"

Kitahara Tsune nodded, took a deep breath, controlled the Armament Haki within his body, and threw another punch.

As expected, Kitahara Tsune successfully unleashed Ryuo once again.

"It's happening again..."

Zefa couldn't help but sigh.

During these two months of training, Kitahara Tsunemi learned almost all of the Armament Haki techniques at an absurdly fast pace.

If he succeeds once, then the subsequent attempts will surely succeed.

After several successful attempts, he was able to adapt and completely make it his own skill.

"That concludes today's training," Zephyr said.

At this rate of progress, Kitahara Tsune will be able to empty his entire fortune in less than a year.

At that point, he, as the teacher, won't know what to teach anymore.

"Okay, teacher."

Kitahara Tsune said respectfully.

"So what will we learn tomorrow?"

Zephyr rolled his eyes and said, "Tomorrow we'll continue with the external application of Armament Haki."

"With your talent, succeeding once is already a sign of mastery, but you haven't reached perfection yet."

"Let's move on to the next stage when you can release your Haki directly without having to wrap it around your hands."

"Not wrapping Armament Haki around my hands..." Kitahara Tsune murmured.

"Like this."

Zefa raised his hand as he spoke.

With a "bang".

The steel plate in the distance was suddenly smashed and sent flying.

However, in Kitahara Tsune's eyes, Zephyr's hands did not show the black color characteristic of Armament Haki.

In other words, Zephyr's hands are currently completely free of any Haki.

"By doing this, we can both conserve Armament Haki and speed up the release of Haki."

"I see."

Kitahara Tsune nodded, having already set his goal in mind.

……

In the afternoon, in the Marshal's office.

The usually calm and collected Sengoku was now frowning as he stared at the report in front of him.

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Generally speaking, intelligence is reported directly by intelligence officers, and there would not be such a knock on the door.

Only a few people like Zeffa and Kap dare to knock on the door like that.

Oh, and that little brat is coming out soon...

Sengoku sighed and said, "Come in."

The person who entered the office was Kitahara Tsuneo.

"Marshal Sengoku, what's your opinion on that matter I recently proposed?"

Kitahara Tsune didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

As for what Kitahara Tsune was referring to, we have to go back two months.

Since the footage of his fight with Zeff was publicly shown at Naval Headquarters...

A frenzied craze for intense training swept through the entire naval headquarters.

Kitahara Tsuneo often trains in public near the training ground.

Therefore, many people also train with Kitahara Tsuneo.

Kitahara Tsuneya was happy to do so, and would occasionally guide the navy in training with them.

About half a month later, a new entry suddenly appeared on Kitahara Tsune's panel.

[Teaching others (spoken)]: When you guide others in their cultivation, you can help them cultivate faster.

With this entry, those naval personnel who frequently consulted Kitahara Tsuneo were able to train much faster than others.

Because of this, more and more people came to Kitahara Tsune for advice and trained with him.

Although he was happy to show his face in front of others, doing it every day wasn't a long-term solution.

Another month passed, and the entry for "teaching others" had already turned green.

[Teaching (Green)]: When you teach others, their cultivation speed becomes faster, and you may occasionally gain a spark of inspiration while guiding their training.

Kitahara Tsuneyasu came up with a solution to this problem.

He suggested to Sengoku that he could also record all the training techniques and lessons.

Soldiers may play this video at a designated location if needed during training.

This way, there's no need to go to him in person; the soldiers can complete the training themselves by following the course.

When Zhan Guo heard this, his eyes lit up.

However, he quickly realized that Kitahara Tsune's training methods were unconventional.

He did go watch Kitahara Tsuneo train.

During training, even without Zephyr speaking, Kitahara Tsune could immediately correct his mistakes with just a glance.

This is something that the navy cannot comprehend.

In order not to waste resources, Sengoku first sent Kitahara Tsune to get a video Den Den Mushi so he could try it out himself.

If it succeeds, then this method can be promoted.

After all, Sengoku didn't want to see Kitahara Tsune say something like, "Even the dumbest person can't learn the Six Styles?" during his teaching.

A few days ago, Kitahara Tsune had completed the basic physical training and handed it over to Sengoku.

"Let's talk about that later, I'm a bit busy here."

This did indeed help the naval soldiers.

But now, what troubles him is something even more important.

Seeing Sengoku's solemn expression, Kitahara Tsune became somewhat curious.

He glanced at the intelligence report in Sengoku's hand.

Although there weren't many words visible, the words "operational fruit" caught his eye.

The fruit of surgery?

A surgical fruit worth 50 billion pesos?

If he remembered correctly, the power struggle between the Navy and the Donquixote Family over the Ope Ope no Mi was quite fascinating.
